Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes values and committed action along with acknowledgment of the challenges one faces. ACT helps people learn ways to let go of struggling with pain, gain clarity on what really matters to them, and to commit to living full, vibrant lives.
Essential components of ACT include letting go of unwanted thoughts and feelings, being aware of the present moment, and committing to a course of action that moves you in the direction of what is important to you. ACT is about acknowledgment and change. Acknowledgment allows you to stop struggling with the things you can't control. This allows more room to focus on what has meaning for you. This is where the change occurs; by identifying actions and taking the steps that will ultimately lead you to a rich and meaningful life.
Psychodynamic Therapy helps people review emotions, thoughts, life experiences, and beliefs. This can help them gain insight and evaluate life patterns. It can help identify how people cope with present-day problems and includes self-reflection and self-examination. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy approach emphasizes learning to recognize inaccurate thought patterns and behaviors, improve how feelings and worries are handled, and break the cycle of problematic habitual behaviors. This perspective helps people see the connection between how they think, what they tell themselves, and the feelings and actions that follow.
